"Just recruit more" should not be the solution because that will end up in 30vs30 extremely laggy combat at regions.
Movecraft isnt about numbers, any monkey can pilot a dreadnought and call it a day.
If theres 30 monkeys shooting randomly they are bound to hit something.

Numbers NEED to be capped.

how many movecraft sieges have you partecipated in the last month

Respectfully I have seen straight videos from both perspectives and it is insane, because of this lag and because of these insane numbers i CANNOT particpate in the regions.

the server ocasionally lags, but it also lags when there are no battles going on, i think there is an issue about that at the moment , this server used to handle much bigger battles without an issue.

and yes just recruit players for movecraft, you can recruit a horde of pvpers i am sure you can do the same for movecraft

To be completely fair, i was there last siege, and there was minimal lag compared to usual. Its clear what ever optimisations Zaify has made has paid off.

Also the repiloting affects like both sides, its not really too relevant... either way ships would be spammed as both the same amount of pilots would repilot at the same time.

This just prevents suicide tactics from the side with more players if anything, and is lag is better this + the points system should work to reward the more skillful side.

the problem is throwing numbers at skilled pilots to win shouldnt be meta, with unlimited people on each side it means that theirs no neccessity to be skilled, you can just get more people to learn the bare minimum

Server lag has been continuously improving as issues are ironed out. Plus, convenient that you make this suggestion after Cultist Empire began recruiting and taking regions.

Does that stop the fact skill is no longer meta? Hell they'll let anyone in regions, I just think your scared you won't make the cut of top 15.


Movecraft should not be a numbers game.

Combat is always a numbers game? Plus skill is meta, a force of 10 can easily take on a force of 20 if the 10 are more skilled, it's a recruiting issue, not a balancing one. All this "cap" does is make a more elitist system which will then cause even less people to get into movecraft, which is already enough of an issue.

what do you mean combat is a numbers game.

Regions are a group of movecrafters who work in unison and utilise their skill to out maneovur enemies.

I remember back when their were formations and skill and we had to work together instead of everyone FFA on the enemies.

Judging by YOUR videos, people are unaware of where the are going, their seems to be nobody leading anything and no comms.

Regions have turned to people throwing numbers and calling it a day.

And a force of 10 CANNOT take a force of 20 are you delusional? Do you understand how much damage ships can tank.

Dreadnought could be AFK getting drilled while the other teammate drills you.


You talk about elitist system and honestly so what. Movecraft is not obscenely difficult to learn, advanced movement and practice is. With this new generation of movecrafters getting their basics covered and not developing any further skills.

Top 15 leaves room to have initiative to improve and it allows space for new recruits to understand the concept of regions and combat.

It's not a recruitment problem. A 40v40 region is far less fun then a 15v15.

Your obviously biased in this situation. You literally brang up your nation despite nobody mentioning it.

Removing recruits from naval regions is bad, actually!

I mean if you really want skill, make boxing impossible by making ships push other ships, so even when out numbered you have decent chances. That's probably the main issue. The thing is when you are boxed there is nothing you can actually do to exit the situation (which is poor game design).

Also, given the fact in my opinion the lag is largely fixed, I don't see the numbers problem as too much an issue. However I do think firing at ships region combat should make you in combat and pushing to be added in order to make skill more important.

For example:
- Being outnumbered 3 to 1 in a large ship = boxed, even with low skilled individuals... if you made it so ships could be pushed or at least take damage if they get rammed, then this would be impossible... meaning the higher skill should be able to deal with the number.
- This solves the problem of having ships camp outside the region, that cost no points if sunk.

Also this solves nothing,
I intend to bring recruits to naval sieges, I don't really care if I get to siege or win.
So I will be bringing a ton of players that won't have a chance to win, or vice versia if Coa fail to siege.
SO
you will legit end up in the same problem.... even if this was added, a third side could just sink people outside the region and hence ruin the fun.
